"I tell you not for your comfort, Yea, not for your desire,Save that the sky grows darker yetAnd the sea rises higher.

"Night shall be thrice night over you, And heaven an iron cope.Do you have joy without a cause,Yea, faith without a hope?"

That's from The Ballad of the White Horse. It sounds very gloomy and depressing at first and without context, but it's actually very wonderful and beautiful. There are many beautiful nuances and ways to interpret this, especially in context with the rest of the work. It's saying that this world--this life--is extremely hard, but we should put our faith in God and eternal life, though it might not make sense by the standards of this world. That, with God, we have joy without a cause and faith without a hope. We'll be happy, confident, for we have eternal life, even when the world is against us and things grow very hard and the battle seems nigh impossible. But we should not let that dissuade us, for we have joy no matter what...without a cause.

"Its amazing how a little kindness and a little love can impact someone in a big way."-John Cooper, Skillet.

"If you saw yourself the was God see's you, you would never feel insecure again."-Mrs. Kelly, my youth leader.

"You know, sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of insane courage. And I promise you, something great will come of it."-We Bought A Zoo

"I don't ask God for things. I ask Him to show me what I can do for Him."-Lourdes, Falling Skies.

I love all of those quotes!!!

Here's a few of mine:

"This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

"If grace is water, then the church should be an ocean. Cause it's not a museum for good people, it's a hospital for the broken." - Jeff Bethke, "Why I Hate Religion But Love Jesus"

"To love another person is to see the face of God." - Les Miserables

"Art is never finished, only abandoned." - Leonardo (the artist)

"You may destroy me, but I will not live in fear!" - Leonardo (the Ninja Turtle) XD

Red Skull: What makes you so special?Captain America: Nothing. I'm just a kid from Brooklyn.

"I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what." - Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

I've got a billion more but I feel the need to stop myself now before I get too many XD
